I have Salt Fiber, achieve with this card only about 140 Mbps optimal setup (5Ghz). iPhone, laptop and Co. are at stable 400-600 Mbps (u/d). Windows 10, latest drivers. Does anyone know what to do?

Hello Kerfuffle. I had a similar problem. Then I noticed that Windows installed the wrong driver and so I could only connect with 150 Mbits in the 2GHz network. My walkthrough is this. Broadcom 802.11ac driver installed. Renamed the wifi to xxx2Ghz and 5 GHz. Connected manually to the 5 GHz network. Since then always connected with 800 Mbits. If I connect to the 2.4 GHz network, I also get 150 Mbits like you.

So either it is the driver that is limiting or it is connecting to the 2.4 GHz network.

Please report if it worked.

Good luck.
PS: Is Salt Fiber worth it?

Have you tested via Ethernet whether the card is really limited or whether the PC itself has a problem? Have you installed the drivers from ASUS or from Windows? I would test both. I don't use the card myself, if I remember correctly there are also setting options in the device manager. Good luck
